Some technologies are geared to small production volumes and the ability to change colors frequently. Others are more suited to economical coloring in large volumes.

The five Fantasia color and special effect technologies can allow your customers to "see and feel" your products in a new way. More than 100 unique visual and tactile effects for plastics are possible. Choose from our palette of rich colors and trendy special effects or create your own.


Why Are the Colors and Special Effects Displayed in a Spoon Shape?

A spoon contains several complex curves and other design details, which can better represent an actual end product. This is critical, since most of the Fantasia colors and special effects are uniquely impacted by changes in light source and viewing angle. These changes are what help give each of the colors and special effects their identity.
